ROTI®Histofix ECO Plus is a ready-to-use, aqueous solution on the basis of hexamethylene tetramine. The solution has similar good fixation properties like formaldehyde, but is, unlike formaldehyde, classified as non-toxic.
The original morphology of the tissue is preserved during the fixation process. The protein molecules are cross-linked in a reversible way, their structures are preserved. That is especially important for antigen-antibody reactions. Samples are - in contrast to other fixative media - free of artefacts such as shrinkage of tissue or irreversible protein crosslinking. The solution is therefore ideal for immunohistochemistry. All conventional staining processes can be carried out following fixation.
ROTI®Histofix ECO Plus is provided with a fragrance for better identification (<1ppm).
